Wynonna Judd Says She Chose To Go On Tour So Her Mom Naomi’s Death Wouldn’t “Define” Her

During a May 23 appearance on Talking in Circles with Clint Black, Wynonna Judd reflected on the healing power of touring as a way to deal with grief. As the Country Music Hall of Famer prepares to launch her Wynonna Judd: The Greatest Hits Tour in June, she opened up about her decision to hit the road in 2022 on The Judds: The Final Tour to help her cope with the death of her mother, Naomi Judd, earlier that year. “I could either let that define me or give me permission to show everybody and myself that I could do it even in spite of the hellish time period that I went through, that I could still sing,” Judd recalls. “And so I went on tour because those fans bought the tickets and they were there for me.” Wynonna Judd: The Greatest Hits Tour kicks off on June 7 in Nashville, making stops throughout North America, before wrapping up in Ocean City, Maryland. in early October.
